[Bug 264144] Re: NetworkManager VPN configuration export does not work

[Michael Nagel]

I am on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS where this is an issue.
I can confirm that the file-based workaround outlined in comment #27 by exeleration-g works.

** Description changed:

  Intrepid,
  network-manager: 0.7~~svn20080818t061112+eni0-0ubuntu1
  
  Subject says it. To reproduce:
  1. Configure VPN connection
  2. Try to Export it to a file
  
  As a result I got cryptic error message dialog:
  ===
  Cannot export VPN connection
  
  The VPN connection 'vpn_test' could not be exported to vpn_test
  (pptp).conf.
  
  Error: unknown error.
  ===
  
  Expected behavior:
  Configuration saved to a file.
+ 
+ =============
+ WORKAROUND
+ The configuration is saved in a file in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/
+ that has the same name as the connection.
+ This file can be examined with a text editor and/or copied around to other machines.
